The security of the electronic information is protected according to the following protocol:

1.  All project information will be stored on portions of the Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation server(s) that have restricted access. For information stored off-site, access to the portions of the server(s) or computer(s) is restricted.

2.  Appropriate back-up procedures of this information will be conducted on a weekly basis and those individuals involved in back-up must adhere to at least the same level of confidentiality as the project team.

3.  Where appropriate and practical, all documents sent via e-mail should be sent via the Alberta Government server.

4.  All documents sent via servers other than those of the Alberta Government will be password-protected. The Project Director will determine the password and notify the appropriate individuals of the password. Passwords have to change on a regular basis.

5.  Information with a high level of sensitivity will not be sent via e-mail but sent by registered mail or courier.
